Coming in hot with 5 of my favorite simple, plant based breakfast ideas! #ad 🫐🍌🍓This is how I remix my breakfast by swapping dairy products for @silk Almondmilk! You’re gonna want to SAVE this for later!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of you know that I follow a very plant-forward diet and swapping out dairy for plant milk, especially in recipes like the ones you see here, has been one of the easiest switches I’ve made. In fact, I actually much prefer almond milk in things like my smoothies and oatmeal because the consistency and taste are better IMO.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Pick up Silk AlmondMilk at your local Target and get 10% off with Target Circle between 3.19-4.1.23✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d love to know which of these breakfast ideas you’ve already made the swap for and I’d love to see how you remix your own breakfast with Silk Almondmilk by using the tag #silkremix! https://lnk2.io/wJWd5yF #silkalmond #silktarget

NEW ON THE BLOG: 10 lessons from 5 years of entrep

NEW ON THE BLOG: 10 lessons from 5 years of entrepreneurship. ✨🪩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This month marks five years since I left the corporate marketing world and my position as a digital strategist in favor of being a full time content creator.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What started as a fun side hustle while I worked at a busy PR firm in NYC has transformed into a multiple six-figure business. Something that my younger self, the girl who grew up without wealth and worked several retail jobs to help pay for college, could never have imagined was possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my blog post, I’m giving you an inside look at some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned while building this non-traditional career. From dealing with loneliness, creative burnouts, and crippling imposter syndrome, to the joys of hiring a team, dream partnerships, beautiful friendships, and connecting with over 150k people across multiple platforms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know so many of you also have chosen a non-traditional career and I hope my learnings can be helpful as you continue on your path. If you continue to trust in yourself and put in the work, there is truly NOTHING you can’t accomplish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m feeling all kinds of emotional so want to say a big thank YOU for your support 💕. Whether you’ve been here for a few minutes or since my @melyoga1 days, my only hope is that my little corner of the internet has brought you something of value or a tiny bit of joy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have no idea what the next 5 years will bring but for now, I’ll take it day by day and am grateful to be sharing it with all of you ✨

This is your sign to romanticize (and treat yourse

This is your sign to romanticize (and treat yourself!) to an afternoon dessert and I couldn’t think of a better combo than @bubbies new ube mochi ice cream paired with an ube matcha latte! 💜🦄 It’s giving whimsical unicorn vibes and I’m totally here for it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I was a little girl, my mom would make mochi rice cakes for dessert and Bubbies mochi ice cream really brings up all those nostalgic memories – and also tastes so delicious! The outside is soft and chewy and the inside has premium ice cream made from real, natural ingredients. You can find the new ube flavor and even more fun flavors at your local Sprouts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ube is a type of sweet potato and is known for its nutty, vanilla flavor and gorgeous purple color. 🍠 I added a 1⁄2 tsp of ube extract and a little sugar to oat milk in order to match my matcha to the mochi. I think it turned out so pretty!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SAVE this post for the next time you need a little dessert inspo and let me know if you’ve ever tried ube before. 💜🌿

One reason I love my @mindfulmorningclub planner is that each morning there are simple things to fill out that are meant to allow for moments of deeper introspection. Whether it’s the color your mood page that gives you a moment to assess your feelings, the monthly journal prompts, or the simple daily gratitude section.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For my own spiritual growth journey, I’ve slowly been getting back to reading a daily devotional (1 Min Love Language Devotions for couples and Jesus Calling are my favs) and am wanting to dedicate time for reading scripture. 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other books that are great for self growth that I recommend:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Atomic Habits
✨ The Power of Now
✨ 101 Essays that will change the way you think
✨ You are a Badass
✨ Make Your Bed
✨ The 5 Love Languages

Do you have any favorite #personaldevelopment books that you would recommend?

My feet are back on dry land and I’m feeling especially grateful for the quality time B and I got to spend on vacation with my family. It’s hard to share my favorite parts in just 10 photos but I did my best to give you the highlights:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) The view of Atlantis from the top deck
2) Family photo before dinner & drinks 🍹
3) Morning dip in the hot tub
4) Some of the most beautiful sunsets 🌅
5) Walking around Labadee
6) Caribbean night with my love ❤️
7) Sip & Paint on ceramic plates from Haiti
8) Morning workout crew! Dad, me and Bay
9) Endless soft serve ice cream 🍦
10) Colorful strolls in the Bahamas
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it sounds terribly cliche but time truly is the most precious gift we have and I highly recommend going on a trip with your family if the opportunity arises. My personal love language is quality time and after this week, I guess it’s needless to say that my heart is quite full.

Can every morning be on the open seas? 🚢💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the past few days I’ve been vacationing with my family to celebrate my grandma’s 80th bday and I don’t think my screen time has ever been this low. Most of my mornings have looked like this — an iced latte and walk through “Central Park” followed by a workout, fresh juice (this one is apple, carrot, lemon, ginger🥕🍋) and lots of time sunbathing + reading.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a big believer that when it comes to vacations there’s no right or wrong approach to maintaining #healthyhabits. Meaning, if you want to take a true rest and indulge that’s great!! The nice thing is that my #morningroutine has become such a big part of my lifestyle that it feels really nice to continue it even when I’m traveling.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll share more of the ship and bts tomorrow but would love to know if any of you have been on a cruise before?
